Chapter: Description of ghusl in the case of janabah (sexual impurity)
Authentic
hadith of Sahih Muslim
Muttafaq ‘alayh (Bukhari and Muslim)Sahih Muslim 316a
‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: “When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took a ritual bath to remove Janābah, he would start by washing his hands. Then he would pour water with his right hand over his left hand to wash his private parts. Then he would make ablution like that he would make for his prayer. Then he would take water with his fingers and run them through his hair. When making sure that his hair was thoroughly wet, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Then he would pour water over the rest of his body. Then he would wash his feet.
Reported by Muslim (No. 316a), Al-Bukhari (No. 248), An-Nasa’i (No. 247) and Malik (No. 99).
‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) describes how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took a ritual bath. He would start with his hands, when he wanted to wash from Janābah. He would clean his hands first because he would scoop water with them. Then he would make an ablution typical of his regular ablution for prayer. Since the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had thick hair, he would run his fingers through it with water. When water reached the roots of the hair, he would pour water over his head three times. Then he would wash the rest of his body. He would finally wash his feet.
Explanation in Arabic
تصف عائشة رضي الله عنها غُسل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بأنه إذا أراد الغسل من الجنابة بدأ بغسل يديه؛ لتكونا نظيفتين حينما يتناول بهما الماء للطهارة، وتوضأ كما يتوضأ للصلاة.
ولكونه صلى الله عليه وسلم ذا شعر كثيف، فإنه يخلله بيديه وفيهما الماء، حتى إذا وصل الماء إلى أصول الشعر، وأوصل الماء إلى جميع البشرة، أفاض الماء على رأسه ثلاث مرات ثم غسل باقي جسده ثم أخّر غسل رجليه في النهاية.
وجوب الغسل من الجنابة، سواء أكان ذلك لإنزال المني أم لمجرد الإيلاج.
الغسل الكامل، ما ذكر في هذا الحديث، من تقديم غسل اليدين، ثم الوضوء، ثم تخليل الشعر الكثيف، وترويته، ثم غسل بقية البدن.
قولها: "كان إذا اغتسل": يدل على تكرار هذا الفعل منه عند الغسل من الجنابة.
جواز نظر أحد الزوجين لعورة الآخر وغسلهما من إناء واحد.
تقديم غسل أعضاء الوضوء في ابتداء الغسل على الغسل من الجنابة، عدا غسل الرجلين فإنه مخير بين غسله مع الوضوء كما في رواية أخرى، وبين تأخيره إلى بعد الانتهاء من غسل البدن كله.
مشروعية تخليل الشعر.
الحديث دليل على أن أفعاله -عليه الصلاة والسلام- حجة كأقواله.
